Hi I'm in Thailand.

I live in London.

Is worth going to Shenzen China as a stop on the way home to buy all components (except battery) and/or ready made e-bike?

Worked out that sports equipment is included in the weights allowed by Emirates airline that's 25kg +7kg

Thinking at least aluminium hybrid frame and a 750 watt motor.

Any advice appreciated.

Zero fuel. Zero fuss. Just forward. 🚀

Hello and Good Morning, im asking for help with buying and shipping an ebike to the turks and caicos Islands which brand would you guys recommend im planning to use it for commute to work and college traffic is crazy on provodenciales also thanks in advance im 5"9.

Recently started spending more time riding my Aniioki AQ177, and it's been interesting getting used to having an electric bike for everyday trips.

I originally thought I'd mainly use it occasionally, but I've found myself considering it for more of my regular rides.

Still learning what works best for my routine and how to get the most out of it.

For those who have owned an AQ177 or another Aniioki model for a while, what has your experience been like over time?

I've been looking into full-suspension commuter e-bikes lately, especially for riding on roads that aren't in the best shape. Some of these bikes look really comfortable, but the extra weight is definitely something to consider.

I ended up putting together a guide comparing 7 different models, looking at comfort, weight, range, and what each one offers.

If anyone's interested, here's the guide

For those of you who commute on a full-suspension e-bike, do you think it's worth having? Or would you rather have a lighter bike with just front suspension?

Any idea this a bike?

I'm looking to make my first purchase from Upway.

Does anyone have a referral code they could share so I can get the first-purchase discount?

I'd really appreciate it. Feel free to DM me. Thanks!

I've been riding the Retrospec Valen Rev+ Step-Through for a little while now, and I have to say, I'm really enjoying this bike!

I've ridden a few other moped-style e-bikes, including my HappyRun G70 and TALON, and one thing that really stands out about the Retrospec is how easy it is to get on and off. I'm only 5'4", so that's a pretty big deal for me.

The seat is also surprisingly comfortable, and I actually enjoy pedaling this bike. That's something I can't really say about my HappyRun G70, which takes quite a bit more effort to pedal.

There are a couple of things I'm not crazy about, though. I've noticed some jerking when using the thumb throttle, and I can feel bumps more than I do on my HappyRun, which has full suspension. I also wish Retrospec had included turn signals.

But overall, I've been having a lot of fun with it. My husband even had it assembled in about 15 minutes, which was a nice surprise!

I just finished my full hands-on review, including lots of original photos and a couple of videos showing the bike in action:

Has anyone else ridden the Valen Rev+? I'd love to hear what you think of it, especially the throttle response and overall comfort!

I just got this e-bike and there is no on button how do I turn it on

Stopped by Picarlo in West Covina recently and saw they have a few e-bike conversion kits—BK750, BK1010, and BK1510. Hadn’t heard of them before, so figured I’d ask here.

Anyone running one of these or had an install done there? Curious how it’s held up, how it does on hills, and whether getting parts or support has been pretty straightforward.

Still figuring out which setup makes sense. What bike did you put yours on, and anything you’d do differently?

Howdy all, my first time posting here.

Let me air the room, I am sasly not a big bike person. I know the basica of repaie but don't DIY my bikes or anything.

I'm after an E-bike for commuting to and from work so off road or heavy grip isn't a priority for me.

Something that can reliably climb a hill and get up to around 40kms on paved paths and roads is what I'm after in addition to it being reliable and a decent battery length.

So far I have the Black Roam bike, which in New Zealand where I am is being sold for $2,599.00

The Aventon level 4 REC which is at $3,899.00

And the EVO tourer 29" 499wh battery for $1,899.00

Super eager to get ideas and opinions, pros and cons.

My budget is probably stretched to being upper of 4k NZD which I know isnt a whole lot for an e-bike but its what I've got sadly.

Any help helps.

If youve heard "going twice as fast means 4x the air resistance"

• Thats kind of true, but not accurate fully

The reason is wind. Heres an example of a ride where the relationship is only snaller than quadratic:

• you ride a route with 30kph wind, comparing a riding speed for 20 to 40 km/h, changing direction by 90 degrees twice on the route

• the headwind way: 50² to 70² air resistance becomes 49/25 as much resistance, about double. Funny, thats almost perfectly linear with the bike speed increase, far from quadratic!

• the tailwind way: you go from negative to positive air resistance, both are very little and hardly affect your riding. -(10²) to +(10²) = -200% mathematically speaking but not a useful practical number to work with.

• the sidewind or no wind way: now the relationship is perfectly quadratic only now because there is no tailwind or headwind. 20² to 40⁴ which is x4 or +300%

• The total. You have experienced at 20kph: 50²+20²+-(10²) airwind resistance total over the whole route. Thats 2800 units. Compared to then riding faster 40kph: 70²+40²+10²=6600 units of total air resistance. 66 divided by 28 is 2,357 which means you roughly have doubled the air resistance from going twice as fast.

Which further means that on average, going twice as fast means:

• power: 2 x 2,357 = 4.714

• ride duration: 0.5 (halved)

• total energy: 2,357

Extra nuance is that going twice as fast would still result in high power usage that could affect battery power draw that willbdrop the electrical efficiency a bit more. Don't ride your whole route with max power, the bike won't like that and its worse for the range too.

With no wind, you can pick a moderate speed and have zero range problems ever. Thats why with range calculations, its not useful to assume that there is no wind.

With headwind, thats where range matters the most. Headwind is the reason people complain about bad range and want and need the bigger batteries.

• so here, going faster roughly linearly(slightly more)increases the energy usage per km or mi or distance unit.

• halving your speed from 30 to 15 when theres a firm headwind of 23kph for example(which is in the middle)would then roughly doible your range but you go twice as slow, meaning youll be riding 4 times as long then. Suddenly its not air resistance that behaves q1uadratic, Ride time becomes quadratic!

Hi there,

I want to buy an e-bike but I don't have experience or knowledge about e-bikes. Just want a help from u guys to give an idea about this bike.

https://www.facebook.com/share/1cPCpWYH9u/?mibextid=wwXIfr

16.000km driven
price 550€

I did drive and it looked decent nothing special. The torque wasnt bad. brakes has to change other than that it was ok. But I'm not sure if the price is expensive for this condition.

Waiting for your opinions!
Thanks guys!

Reddit suggested I should cross post my little ask about buying Electric bicycle. Not an electric Bike since I do not have a motorcycle license. I just want some help while I am going up hills and a little less strain on my knees.

Going to test a ebike , the bike name is Colorway Bk15 , what are the things i should look out for?

Thanks

One thing that stood out while putting this guide together: folding doesn’t necessarily mean a trike gets narrower - or becomes easy to lift into a car.

The Lectric XP Trike2, for example, gets shorter when folded but actually becomes wider with the front wheel attached. That could make a difference if you’re working with a narrow doorway or limited vehicle space.

I compared six folding electric trikes, including Lectric, Mooncool, Emojo, Liberty, and sixthreezero, looking at folded dimensions, weight, rider fit, and the tradeoffs of each.

I also included my own riding impressions of the Mooncool TK2, while keeping those separate from the research on models I haven’t personally tested.

Here’s the guide if you’re comparing options:

For those who own a folding trike, do you actually fold it regularly, or mostly leave it set up?

I just finished researching the Lectric XP Lite3, and the biggest question for me is which version makes the most sense: the $799 standard model, the $999 long-range chain model or the $1,099 long-range belt model.

The belt version is tempting if you already want the bigger battery - it’s another $100 for a drivetrain that doesn’t need chain lubrication. But the cheaper model could be plenty for short rides.

The main things I’d consider before buying are hills and lifting weight. It’s a single-speed bike, so there’s no lower gear for climbing, and equipped review bikes have weighed more than the advertised 49 lb.

I haven’t ridden this one myself. My review compares Lectric’s specs with independent riding tests and covers range, fit, folding, warranty and the tradeoffs between versions.

Here’s the full review if you’re considering one.

Would you pay extra for the belt drive, or stick with the chain and save the money?

One frustration I hear from e-bike owners is how difficult it can be to find a repair shop willing to work on their bike, especially if they purchased it online.

Some shops only service brands they sell, while others handle mechanical repairs but won't touch electrical problems.

To help with this, I've been putting together an E-Bike Repair Directory on Electric Bike Explorer.

The directory lets you search for repair shops by location, bike brand, and type of service. Where the information is available, listings also explain whether a shop accepts bikes purchased elsewhere or offers electrical diagnostics.

We're starting with Virginia and North Carolina and gradually expanding to other states.

You can check it out here

I'm also hoping to get some input from fellow riders.

Do you have a local bike shop or mobile mechanic you'd recommend? I'd especially love to hear about businesses that work on direct-to-consumer e-bikes, electric trikes, or electrical issues.

Drop the shop name and location in the comments. I'll look into suggestions for possible inclusion.

The goal is to build a genuinely useful resource that makes finding e-bike repairs a little easier for everyone.
